This study was conducted to examine the possibility of using construction solid waste (CSW), an inevitable by-product of the construction and demolition process, as the main substrate in a laboratory scale multi-stage ...

This paper presents the physical properties of Recycled Asphalt Pavement (RAP) and its influence on the mechanical performance of a binder course asphalt pavement mix. A series of binder course mixes were designed containing ...

This paper investigates the applicability of a cohesive zone model for simulating the performance of bituminous material subjected to quasistatic loading. The Dugdale traction law was implemented within a finite volume ...

Accurate determination of shear wave arrival time using bender elements may be severely affected by a combination of near field effects and reflected waves. These may mask the first arrival of the shear wave, making its ...

This paper is an investigation of the National Science Foundation (NSF) funding trends within America’s research-active tenured and tenure-track, civil engineering community from 50 major, doctoral-granting institutions, ...

In machine defect detection, namely those of gears, the major problem is isolating the
defect signature from the measured signal, especially where there is significant background noise or multiple machine components. This ...

This paper presents an overview of an investigation into the durability characteristics of blends of GGBS with CEM II/A Portland cements. The introduction of the Emission Trading Scheme has focussed attention on the carbon ...

It is important that the assessment of bridges be as accurate as possible. Dynamic
amplification is one area in which the codes are sometimes overly conservative.
Bridge dynamics is well researched but the majority of ...

This paper describes the design of the curriculum for a Master of Engineering programme in civil engineering at University College Dublin. The revised programme was established to meet the requirements of the Bologna process ...

In this paper, truck weigh-in-motion (WIM) data are used to develop live load factors for use on Alabama state-owned bridges. The factors are calibrated using the same statistical methods that were used in the original ...
